Ric Alba

"I was ... involved in helping to alleviate the AIDS crisis, which had been caused in great part by society forcing gay people into closets. [...] I can now let myself be known in ways I didn’t dare during the ‘80’s. Everyone has the drive to be known and loved. [...] When you’re delivering to friends..., someone other than your true self, it’s nearly impossible to absorb the love people send you. It always feels like it was meant for someone else, and that you’re taking love under false pretenses."
